The Truth about Abraham and Mary's Marriage

[Gene C]

An interesting book is "The Lincolns - Portrait of a Marriage" by Daniel Mark Epstein.

I've read it, it's interesting, but there are a few things in it I didn't agree with. Mr. Epstein makes the argument that Lincoln may have had a STD, and that's the reason for the on and off again relation ship with Mary, and his hesitancy about marriage. I didn't buy into his reasoning on this. Other than that it was pretty interesting.
